I miss JBL

[Jason]

I really think JBL is missed these days. I always loved him as a commentator and I think he would be just as good as a GM for Raw or even a manager for somebody like a heel MVP... Always loved that pair and how he used to kiss his ass back in 2007, after hating him at first. I thought they were going that way when he gave him the US title ring.

When the guest hosts end, I hope to see either him or Mike Adamle as the permanent GM. Thoughts?

[Citizen Snips Has Left]

I agree with him being a good GM. I don't agree with equating JBL to Mike Admale. That's like saying you'd like either Jesse Ventura or Todd Pettingil to be GM.

JBL was the best thing on TV for a looooong time, whether he was on commentary or wrestling.

He needs to come back and do something.

BRING BACK JBL, DAMMIT!!!

I am definitely down with the idea of JBL becoming permanent Raw GM, but I still don't understand people's fascination with Mike Adamle.

I would even like a good JBL cameo somewhere. Like, say Miz wins the WWE title somehow in a fluke victory. Cut to him celebrating goofily backstage all excited with his hoo-rah's and whatnots, and Ron Simmons walks up and right before he says "Damn" JBL appears and says it. If you knew how hard I'd mark for that...just any of JBL's awesomeness on my TV would make me happy.

He told Stephanie off in his last moment with the company (even though it was scripted). I think that had a little to do with it.

That, and he was always good for an odd moment of comic relief (such as when he tried to shill Mamajuana to Cena).

...and with Mamajuana, we've tied this right back to JBL. I miss him too.

[Mozenrath]

I, too, miss JBL.

I may not agree with the wrestling part, but everything else?

THIS.

Oh Jibble, we really don't know what we've got until its gone...

I won't lie and say that I was always a fan of his, and I was one of his detractors during his WWE Championship run, but my God, there's nothing better than growing up a little and learning to appreciate the little things that someone like JBL did.

My mom doesn't.

Mom: Hay it's "Cottage Cheese Thigh Guy".
Mason: Mom, he has a name, JBL, or John Bradshaw Layfield.
Mom: Whatever, am I gonna see "Furry Boot Boy" tonight.
Mason: Yes you will. And he has name too mother, it's John Morrison.

[Kris Kobain]

My favorite JBL moment was when Joey Styles punched him in the face and he didn't do anything.

JBL was epic. They should just have him commentate NXT, RAW and Smackdown.

[Bo Rida]

I miss him as a commentator but don't want to see him in any other role.

[mainsupreme]

Best Heel of the noughties.

[PrinceD]

I don't.

[delurked]

I don't want JBL as GM. He would be an evil megalomaniacal authority figure, which they already have with Vince. But he should definitely come back and do commentary.

And I liked Adamle quite a bit as GM. He wasn't a heel or a face, just a guy who tried to do call things right down the middle. It was a nice change of pace, and when he wasn't trying to call matches he was pretty good on the mic.
